Maybe I was high strung for nothing... just got my YSOM interview invite! I can't describe how excited I am - Yale is by far my #1 choice!

Texas101, how'd your interview go?

Whats is your region?
It is said that Yale sends invites by geographic location. Last week was US and it matches with GMAT Club and Clear Admit tracking sites.

1. I am an alum of Yale SOM. In my capacity of an Admissions Consultant, I regularly work not only with candidates who went to the Top 20 US schools, but also many others across Canada, Europe and Asia. I have thus really known students and their admits across various schools.

Additionally, while I was a student at Yale SOM, I took-on opportunities to work not only with SOM students, but also with students from other schools in Engineering. Neither were my undergrad (and my employer) ranked at all, nor were those of some of the others students I worked with.

2. Further, as an Admissions Consultant, I have sent many students across many MBA schools, and having seen the cases of and heard from numerous admits, I know nothing could be farther from the truth.

Yale actually provides FREE MONEY if you join non-profits after MBA (Yes, they pay your education loans). That brings a lot of non-elitist school students to Yale.

My one big advice to you all. Don't BELIEVE things that you hear from people who are not qualified appropriately to make such statements.

I am not sure if it is true, but I heard from my colleagues that Yale SOM is one of the most "elitist" schools. I heard that, for example, they place an absurd amount of emphasis on the prestige of your undergrad institution (more so than other top 10 b-schools). Is this true??

Yikes, yes, I'd really question this generalization from your colleagues. I'm a 2016 alum and my experience is that while yes, some folks do come from prestigious institutions (just like most other business schools), many more come from other Colleges and Universities as well. I'm definitely in this boat.

Hello,

I have applied on the 15th of Sept, and I haven't received any YALE update so far. My profile is still under review. Has anyone that applied at a similar time gotten an interview or accepted?

Best of luck all!

Anyone from India who received Interview invite yet?

Website says that interview invites are on rolling basis and invites will be sent anytime within 8 weeks of deadline.

I submitted my app on 9/15 and my video/behavioral assessment on 9/17 and 9/18. I received my interview invitation on Monday 9/5 - it went to my promotions folder on gmail FYI. The portal updated around the same time.

I submitted my application and behavioral assessment on 9/15 and my video assessment on 9/18. I have not heard back yet, and my application is still under review. Is this bad news?

Not to mention, I defiantly screwed-up on the video assessment!

Exactly the same case with me. Don't think there is any hope now.

They said all interviews will be out by 8 weeks. I haven’t seen a lot of activity online recently. More likely that we are not getting invited at this point. Wouldn’t get hopes up, but that’s just my opinion.

Would be great if they could just get on with rejecting me. Checking my email constantly even though I know it's very unlikely at this point.

Same here. No interview yet. Just mentally moving on instead of checking the email compulsively. What other schools did you apply to?
